I am anxious to know what progress has been made on the draft leaving certificate course on politics and society. It is planned to roll out this course in schools. Voter turnout in the age group of 18 to 24 years in the 2011 general election was up by nearly 30% on the figures for the 2007 election. These citizens had the value of CSPE course which may have been a correlation rather than a causation. I ask the Minister to say what have been the developments.
